pounds New Theory.

and Happier.
London. —Kemp Prosser, the fanions
English color specialist, has been con- 1
ducting some Interesting experiments
■which he hopes the British govern
ment will adopt for decorating houses
during the reconstruction period. He
maintains that the adoption of his
•color schemes will make the British
l>oth healthier anti happier.
Interviewed in his two “health '
rooms,” one with walls of sunlight
yellow and the celling sky blue, with
blue net curtains at the windows, Mr.
Prosser declared that his purpose is
to bring outdoors inside.
“I am doing away with my pic
tures," he said. “Instead lam install
ing these bowls of fruit, as you see,
on pedestals against the background
of the sunlight walls. These embroid
ered cushions on the chairs aid In car
rying out my purpose with their flower
designs.”
Then the color specialist led the way
to the other room, in which the dom
inating color was apple-blossom pink.'
“This is the normal color,” said Mr. !
Prosser, “because I have found that
ninety-nine people out of a hundred'
are happiest in rooms of this shade.*

conversation with him before dinner
concerning my work in Italy. He
speaks excellent English and asked
many questions.
“Later, while we were dining, I was
sitting at his right, a large Maltese cat
—-the royal cat—with a beautiful coat ,
of fur, suddenly leaped up on my lap.
I quietly nudged him off my knee. To :
my surprise he leaped up on the king’s
back. |'
“The king utterqd an exclamation. I
seized the cat and pulled him off, al
though he hung on for dear life. The
king laughed heartily. I said:
“ ‘Your majesty, this means either '
very good or very bad luck for our
common cause.’ |
“ ‘lt is very good luck for me,’ re
■plied the king.”

I REPORT CONTAGIOUS
DISEASES.
c It is very important that all conta
; gious diseases be reported by the phy
sician to the board of health, for only
' by so doing can the source of the in-
I section be placed so that those who
I are well may avoid the contact, and
also for the reason that knowing
where the disease is, the Board of
' Health can take steps to eradicate it.
This is particularly true of the Ve
• nereal Diseases. If we can find the
i carrier, the discriminator of Syphilis
and Gonorrhea, xve can then take
steps to compel them to be treated.
I These are two of the contagious dis- j
'.ea--.es that the law is particularly j
strong on. It is a misdemeanor in'
Georgia to subject another to either
i of these diseases.

YOUR COUNTY BOARD
OF HEALTH.
Every county in Georgia has a
- County Board of Health. Some do
’ not seem to know it. Yet it is true.
• j If we were to judge by the reports on
• Venereal Diseases that are received
at the State Board of Health, we might
: ■ not make the statement so emphatic.
' Yet it is true.
I Under the Ellis Health Law the
Chairman of the Commission of
Roads and Revenue and the County
■ School Commission are made the
Board of Health for their county. This
is a legal board for the transaction of
j business. It is enjoined upon the
I Grand Jury to select a physician,
I who completes this board of three
members. So you see you have a
Board of Health. You should use
them. These Boards of Health should
organize, and be active. ’ They are
supposed to receive reports from the
physicians of their county and trans
mit them to the State Board of
Health.
In epidemics they have active
charge and should be ready to func
tion. A copy of this law- will be
sent to any one asking for it.
